Please forgive me ahead of time for getting mad about this.
Google "Syria" go to the news section, and feast your eyes.
If that's not enough, now google "Syria children", feast your eyes again.
If you can't be arsed to do that, I'll highlight a few headlines.
"Syrian refugee children are dying"
"Children in Syria are paying a very high price"
"Syrian refugee camps filled with child deaths."
"6 children killed by Car bomb"
"10 Children killed by cluster bomb."
^And all that? Took place in less than a month from today.
And this has been going on for years.
I've seen literal videos of these things happening. You can search this stuff for yourself, if you can stomach it, and see with your own eyes.
So I ask you, I ask ANYONE who is taking part in this 'ceasefire'. Why now? Were you aware of what is happening in Syria? And if you were, did you even once consider 'showing respect' by not playing violent videogames?
Seems to me like you're picking and choosing exactly which horrendous tragic event to "show respect to".
I know you people mean well by taking part in this gesture. I'm not trying to attack or tear down any of you. But I can't help but look at this gesture, and feel
grossly offended, because of all the tragedies of the exact same kind taking place worldwide, and not even acknowledging them.
So in my defense, this isn't me being some heartless spiteful bastard that cannot give up his violent videogames. This is me looking at this gesture/movement/whathaveyou, and thinking it is asinine.
